Replacing a Driver
1. Open a digit or access panel as described in Section 5.2.
2. Remove the metal cover from the driver enclosure.
3. Disconnect all connectors from the driver by squeezing together the locking tabs and
pulling the connectors free.
Note: It may be helpful to label the cables to know which cable goes to which
connector when reattaching the driver.
4. Remove the screws or nuts securing the driver to the inside of the enclosure.
5. Carefully lift the driver from the display and place it on a clean, flat surface.
6. Position a new driver over the screws and tighten the nuts.
7. Reconnect all power/signal connectors.
Note: The connectors are keyed and will attach in one way only. Do not attempt to
force the connections.
